Some new cards with defender were released with Ravnica Allegiance. Not all were goot though, but I was lucky enough to get the best two cards in my Prerelease Set.
Following changes were made:
Dragon's Eye Sentry -> Resolute Watchdog
Assault Formation -> High Alert
Resolute Watchdog is very good in protecting Arcades, the Strategist and High Alert is the better Assault Formation. Both changes should improve the gameplay of the deck.
HobbyGamer007 overlooked it somehow. I can probably cange Dragon's Eye Sentry for it

I have a deck similar to this, only I run Doran, the Siege Tower in a Tiny Leaders format. I run Season of the Witch and Behind the Scenes, along with Wall of Blood as a great kill card. This deck makes me want to revisit it and flesh it out to EDH though!

Meeknomore Glad I gave you some inspiration with my deck. I wish you a lot of fun games with yours if you build it :) Too bad that the cards you mentioned are off colour. They are really great!

Have you considered Beast Whisperer as an additional Arcades effect? I think that most value in his case comes actually from constant card draw so why not add some more effects like that?

I have a couple quick questions: have you considered running Forbid in here as a reuseable counter spell? With the card draw that is produced, the buyback should be easily achieved. Also I am wondering if you have found anything that gives them vigilance or additional boosts ((trample, flying, etc)? That would be highly beneficial. Cards like Always Watching, or even Vivien Reid. Also I am not sure if it was mentioned for late game aspect but Colossus of Akros would be great.

Vlasiax I honestly didn't thought about this before because I wasn't in need of a lot more cards but I will definitely keep it in mind and test it. Thank you.
mattmccrackin Thank you for your suggestions. For a vigilance-like effekt I use Masako the Humorless and for "trample" Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive. Vivien wouldn't survive long enough in our meta, since there is lot of hate against planeswalkers, for whatever reason. But you gave me an interesting idea and I will do some research. For Forbid to use effectively, the carddraw had to be extended. Also, I really love Colossus of Akros, but it has been a dead card in early games and even when I played him he didn't make his mana back. Most of the games I tested with him ended before he released his full potential or he died to artifact or creature removal.
thcue That is great, have fun with the deck!

I hope that you were on high alert for the new card, High Alert! Enjoy your sweet new toy!

DarkStarStorm Nice pun :) I'm aware of High Alert and will swap Assault Formation for it. I only make changes to the deck when I own the card, though.

Wouldn't you want both in the deck for that sweet redundancy?
January 7, 2019 12:50 a.m.
DarkStarStorm I don't think I need both. I really never had to use Assault Formation before so I will just swap it for the better one. Maybe I'll change this in the future.

You might wanna cut Consulate Skygate for Resolute Watchdog . Protecting Arcedes for 1 Mana seems really strong.

HobbyGamer007 Not quite sure which card I cut but Resolute Watchdog will have a spot!

Did you consider Portcullis Vine ? it's basically a 3/3 for 1 with a neat ability should a creature of you be blocked you can prevent lifelink or get value if it trades badly.
